Abdullah Öcalan...

At last someone else who knows when AbdullahÖcalan'sbirthday is

CONGRATULATIONS KaniRash we must be the ONLY 2 people here who knew

adding birthday of ochalan to the calendar, probably wouldnt be the best idea becausein kurdistan lots of people have fake birth dates (mostly because families want to send their sons to mandatory military service LATER than 18 years old) or some other reasons , and also lots of people dont even remember their birthday, it is not like west that we care about it too much.if we want to add his birthday, we need to find birthday of all kurdish leaders

I would add the day that ochalan was arrested as a Historic day to the calendar (does someone know when he was arrested) or when he founded a party ,

It is a date that Kurds in NK recognise as his birthday whether or not it is his actual birthday is not important. I do not believe Kurds celebrate anyone else's birthday

Rather like people celebrating the birth of Jesus on 25 December

I believe that Ocalan was arrested on 15 February 1999

I remember the day well because my friends and I all went to protest outside the Greek Embassy in London
